Installation and Operation Manual 1.3 Chapter 1 Introduction Functional Description This section lists and explains the key features of RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1. Bridge RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 has multi-port bridging capability with up to six bridge ports. The bridge supports two modes of operation, VLAN-aware and VLANunaware. The mechanism of each mode can be described as five different processes: • Ingress.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual VLAN-Aware Mode This mode enables creation of sub-groups of bridge ports within the bridge. Each sub-group is defined per VLAN and is associated with a unique VLAN ID (VID). Frames containing a VID can be forwarded only between bridge ports that are members of this specific VLAN, thus enabling a total separation between different VLAN users within the same bridge. In addition, each bridge port is associated with Ethernet Type (TPID).
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Ingress Process The ingress process is composed of three steps: frame admission, ingress filtering and PVID assignment to untagged/priority-only tagged frames. • • Frame admission. Two modes of operation, configured per bridge: Admit all frames. All frames arriving from the port are admitted and proceed to the ingress filtering process. PVID is assigned to untagged or priority only tagged frames. Admit only VLAN tagged frames.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Table 1-1. Ingress process Frame Admission Mode Ingress Filtering Mode Bridge Behavior Admit all frames Enable VLAN tagged frames with a VID (or PVID for untagged/priority tagged frames) that do not include the bridge port in their VLAN member set – are dropped. Disable All frames pass. Enable VLAN tagged frames with a VID that do not include the bridge port in their member set – are dropped.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Forwarding Process The forwarding process is performed based on the frame destination MAC VID pair. The frame is forwarded to the bridge port specified in the MAC table for this MAC VID pair entry. Untagged frames are forwarded according to the PVID attached to that frame during the ingress process.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual VLAN-Unaware Mode In this mode the bridge forwarding ignores the VLAN ID of VLAN tagged frames. Each Ethernet packet received from each bridge port (Ethernet or E1s) is forwarded according to its destination MAC address.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Forwarding Process The forwarding process is performed based on the frame MAC Destination Address (MDA). The frame is forwarded to the Bridge/port specified in the MAC table for this MAC. Frames are forwarded, dropped or flooded at this stage for the following reason: • Forwarded: A frame will be forwarded according to its DA, to the bridge port where its DA was learned.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Quality of Service RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 support QoS mapping to priority queues (3 PQ, strict priority, per bridge port) at the E1/T1 egress according to one of the following: • VLAN priority (802.

OAM Architecture Handling of OAM Levels UNI_C to UNI_N Direction In the UNI_C to UNI_N direction RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 block all OAM messages with OAM level greater than 2. Messages with other OAM levels are passed transparently.
Appendix C Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) • Installation and Operation Manual In case of one flow per UNI (Figure C-3), the PM and CC are transmitted once. Figure C-3. One Flow per UNI • In case of multiple flows per UNI (Figure C-4), PM and CC are transmitted three times. Figure C-4. Multiple Flows per UNI • In case of one flow and multiple CoS (Service Instances) per UNI (Figure C-5), the PM is transmitted three times and the CC is transmitted once. Figure C-5.
Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) OAM Messages Addressing The OAM defines two modes of addressing, unicast and multicast. Unicast addressing is used for point-to-point connections, while multicast addressing is used in cases where the MAC address of the destination MEP is not known. Currently RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 supports point-to-point flows only.
Appendix C Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Installation and Operation Manual The message is initiated by the local device and runs periodically making it suitable for fault detection. Unicast ETH-LB request message is sent from a MEP to a specific MEP (remote device). The DA of the request message is a unicast MAC address of destination device. Upon receipt of the request message, the MEP responds with unicast ETHLB reply message.
Installation and Operation Manual • Appendix C Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Unicast ETH-LB reception and reply transmission Whenever a valid unicast ETH-LB request message is received by a MEP (RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1), a unicast ETH-LB reply message is generated and transmitted to the requesting MEP.
Appendix C Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Installation and Operation Manual ETH-CC Method The ETH-CC method includes the following elements: • ETH-CC transmission Unicast ETH-CC request message is transmitted by a MEP (RICi-4E1/T1, RICi8E1/T1) every 1 second. The transmitted Transaction Identifier is retained for at least 5 seconds after the unicast ETH-CC signal is transmitted.
